It is cheaper - I'm saving $1000 bucks on my iPhone over the course of two years, just by buying it unlocked and on a cheaper plan. I can use it in other countries as well, just a matter of swapping the SIM card. Only downside is that my network provider won't replace my phone if something were to happen to it, but I'd imagine there are third party insurance providers in this space.

I think there are a few reasons why companies like Verizon are so big in the U.S.: they have a good network, they offer plenty of family plans, and they will replace your phone for what seems like subsidized rate under various conditions. Oh, and they advertise constantly.

But not being able to use my phone out of the country? Very limiting. Why would I pay more for that handicap as an individual enrollee?

Awesome! Now you need to make that wireless charger out of concrete to match the aesthetic. :)

I wouldn't want to hire you because I wouldn't want to get in trouble. I also wouldn't want you to get in trouble. There are alternatives being discussed here that would allow a win/win instead of a lose/lose: pick a different country, get another year of experience, and play by the rules.

Oh wow, I didn't realize there was a new Butterick book. I bought Typography for Lawyers a few years ago and learned more than I expected to learn about en/em dashes and quote usage; information that probably ought to be part of any middle school keyboarding class curriculum.

This will be dangerous for you to operate in the United States.

Offering what you call medical advice without so much mentioning HIPAA? I hope you don't get hacked - penalties here for a breach are much higher than you'd expect, and you should be thinking about that if you're going to accept money from Americans in exchange for your services.

I pay $228/month for a personal silver plan down here in NC through the marketplace.

Great suggestion. Thanks for sharing!

Outside of a fashion week couture fashion tech concept house like Anrealage[1], what will this do for us? Project Jacquard strikes me as a solution to a problem, but I can't think of a single problem it solves. A smart watch tells time, streamlines notifications, and maybe keeps me in shape, but this? What will this do for me?

Wouldn't you expect the interviewer to explain the organizational chart and then move on to the next question? I don't understand the business or technical context of that question, and it doesn't seem like a behavioral one either.

Wonderful interview. If only he didn't have to charge $995 for each cashmere sweater to be able to provide these things for his workers, and for himself. Either way, I'm glad he does.

Well, if you are in North Carolina, you should email me, as we are hiring data scientists. :)

Phone jamming is a great way to prevent people from calling 911, friends, or family, so there's that.

I loved what this software package did for Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights (36 minutes long, so grab a seat): http://youtu.be/fsXhtJ9BTJA

Raleigh, NC - Scry Analytics Front End Web Developer - Node.js/Angular.js Required

Job Description and Responsibilities:

We are looking for a front-end web application developer interested in creating web applications. The candidate must be able to take an idea with only a list of features and translate that list into a concrete design document with emphasis on user experience. Then, after creating the design document and page mock-ups, be able to work with database engineers and software engineers to create a fully integrated web application able to handle big data analytics.

All applicants should be prepared to demonstrate their development ability. During the interview, we may give a simple algorithmic coding test as well as a coding test based on a previous difficulty we’ve run into on the project.

This is a full time position and all applicants must be willing to work onsite – relocation may be discussed in the interview.

About Scry Analytics:

Scry Analytics (www.scryanalytics.com) provides Big Data Science solutions to do predictive and prescriptive analytics (i.e., to "forecast the future") and our aim is to:

* Codify work-flows in the services industries so that they are well-defined & repeatable.

* Collate and harmonize client's data that is required for such work-flow systems.

* Provide Scry Analytics' proprietary data that improves the key performance indicators and the characteristics of such work-flow systems.

* Use our proprietary Big Data Science platform as well as deep Computer Science & Math algorithms to build decision support systems that improve the metrics related to these work-flows.

Although Scry Analytics provides analytics and Big Data Science services, our aim is to minimize these services by providing automation and software solutions (where we can). We are currently solving problems in the following domains:

* Retail

* Banking and Insurance

* Inventory & Transportation of After Market Parts; Maintenance

* Utilities and Telecom

* Health care

Since most techniques that Scry Analytics is using are taken from cutting-edge research, the kind of solutions that Scry Analytics is building are unlikely to be built by companies that provide data analysts in a staff augmentation mode or those that provide IT professionals. So, we are looking for Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs in computer science, data analytics or math that have a "research" or "advanced development" bent.

Serious question - what sort of information can be gleaned from a sales candidate by asking them how messy their room is on a scale from 1-10?

Ability to answer random questions? Ability to compose a narrative? Ability to deal with seemingly arbitrary BS?

After editing the default note, I am unable to create a box.

- Firefox 36.0.4, Windows 7. Let me know if you need additional information.

Well, if they can beat the prices I pay for baking soda and vinegar at the grocery store, I'm in.

Happy to see Nomiku on the list - they ran a fantastic Kickstarter campaign, and I hope they get the help they need to scale up into everyone's kitchen.

Or they.

Bolding places emphasis on the word being bolded, whereas underlining places emphasis on the line underneath the word.

In the context of a URL, usability would dictate underlining links, to match convention.

If you mentioned this in a job interview with me, I would be impressed and want to talk about questions you'd answered, questions you'd asked, etc. It's a minor asset, but major achievement.

Honestly? You're hanging out with a bunch of ambitious, entry level devs, probably all college students. This is what you should expect from a crowd like this. Take what you need and leave the rest. For more depth and maturity, go to your favorite language meetups and attend/participate in talks from/with folks with some industry experience under their belt. Kudos for having perspective enough to ask for feedback about this. You'll be fine.

Yes, at some point. I am very interested in the HealthKit integration. I'm also interested in the timekeeping interface complications.
